Rudock gets the Harbaugh "pump up" treatment
This occured in between our dud opening drive and our first scoring driving in which Rudock completed the long pass to Darboh and the double-fake throw over the middle to Khalid Hill.
I wonder if this technique would work equally well in an office environment before a big meeting.

Colin K is sure missing that Harbaugh QB Pump Up now. Too bad it can't be bottled.
September 28th, 2015 at 2:41 PM ^
I think he threw for more yards in INTs than TDs the past 2 weeks lol.
49ers media sure miss Harbaugh, that's for sure.
I'm also positive that one Oline guy who thought Harbaugh was annoying and clinically insane is regretting not having him around now.

Somehow the 49ers fans are trying to blame Harbaugh for their current struggles.
C'mon guys, sour grapes much?
Michigan fans are very familiar with the heartbreak of forcing/encouraging an outstanding athletic quarterback with limitations as a passer to play under center. Tomsula should definitely hire on Borges as a QB consultant to help Kaepernick figure it out; not a big deal since he could just drive over from San Jose.

I've talked to a couple of 49ers fans around here who have said things like that, but the overwhelming majority are livid with the Yorks for running Harbaugh off.
September 28th, 2015 at 1:49 PM ^
Worked pretty good.
He needs to give it to me so I can go back to work.

I picture Harbaugh humming the Matthew McConaughey tune from Wolf of Wall Street while doing the QB pump up
September 28th, 2015 at 3:06 PM ^
"mmmmmm....mmmmmmmm......haaaw!"
September 28th, 2015 at 1:54 PM ^
Hope he gets the pump up treatment all season, and the double pump up vs. MSU and OSU.

Poor Shane.
September 28th, 2015 at 2:09 PM ^
Why poor Shane? Why not poor Speight, or poor Malzone, or poor Gentry? Every one of those guys has the opportunity to go out and earn the job and steal it from Rudock. I don't understand this mentality that Shane was somehow entitled to start for Michigan because a recruiting service (erroneously) put 5 stars next to his name back in 2012.
September 28th, 2015 at 2:14 PM ^
I'd like to see him get some garbage time in the blowouts that are sure to come this season. I always liked him for some reason. Maybe just have him run some crazy ass plays since I'm pretty sure he can chuck that ball 50 yards with ease.

I think people feel sorry for him because if Hoke was still here he would be the starter.
But, then again, by now he would probably out for the season with multiple concussions and we would be 0-4.
September 28th, 2015 at 2:49 PM ^
This ... 100%
September 28th, 2015 at 5:39 PM ^
Someone didn't like this? Relly. What a you know what. . .
September 28th, 2015 at 4:45 PM ^
September 28th, 2015 at 3:37 PM ^
by Hoke and co. Not because he deserves to be the starter, but because he deserved much better than he got.
September 28th, 2015 at 4:08 PM ^
September 28th, 2015 at 4:20 PM ^
I do hope it works out for him.
On another topic: Poor Devin.
September 28th, 2015 at 10:51 PM ^
Ugh. Thinking about poor Devin makes poor me and poor every Michigan fan.
September 28th, 2015 at 4:34 PM ^
Harbaugh obviously sees enough in Shane to redshirt him this year. To me, that speaks volumes about his talent level. Harbaugh knows Morris didn't get the coaching he needed and was in a terrible situation. We have no idea what is going on behind the scenes, but I am banking on a very good Shane Morris by next season.
That being said, I won't be surprised if Brandon Peters wins the job next year.

makes quarterbacks. He turned Alex Smith and Kapernik into a winner and not even the folks in 49er land believed in this transformation. He beat Cam Newton in Charlotte in a playoff game. Nobody beats Cam Newton at home in any game. Not Brady, not Rodgers, not Luck. And Wison won't.
Oh, what tales we weave when we seek to deceive and take the pressure off our heads to make the York family seem only dreadful instead of inept for challenging greatness and professionalism as a personality issue and then hiring a one hit wonder lost in space to lead a super bowl chase to nowhere. Yed Jork we salute ye!
September 28th, 2015 at 2:40 PM ^
Another improvement under Harbaugh: The backup QBs always carry their helmets...Not like when Devin went down last year and Brady had to blow a timout because Shane didn't know where his helmet was. Improvements in all areas!

When Gardner lost his lid it was Bellomy that couldn't find his so Bellomy yelled at Morris to grab his helmet and get back in for Gardner.
September 28th, 2015 at 3:33 PM ^
Hoke tried to get a timeout so Gardner wouldn't have to miss a play. The ref mistakenly told him that Gardner would still have to miss one. As others pointed out, they tried to send Bellomy in and he couldn't find his helmet. Bad enough that refs blow so many calls. They should at least know the rulebook.
September 28th, 2015 at 4:23 PM ^
It is vastly under-reported how much the Ref's bad information led to this fiasco.
Yes, Hoke and his staff needed to have their shit together. They didn't and paid the price. But this Ref was equally involved in this disaster that made the national news. He needed to be held accountable as well.
January 5th, 2016 at 3:39 PM ^
the offender ejected. And yet, that didn't happen. Because if it did, the ensuing delay for replay confirmation would have avoided the controversy Nobody every mentions that.
September 28th, 2015 at 2:45 PM ^
Shane's saving a year of eligibility instead of wasting it in mop-up duty. Nothing shabby about that.
September 28th, 2015 at 3:37 PM ^
I don't think any of the Hoke QB recruits will ever start for us after this year, and only this year if Rudock gets injured. Harbaugh's recruits are waiting in the wings, and they have the qualities that JH is looking for to run his offense: smart with good size and good zip on the ball with accuracy, with the ability to scramble if necessary. Shane hasn't shown the ability to manage the game without turnovers, perhaps unfairly, but guys like O'Korn and Gentry are waiting in the wings; and Peters and Viramontes will be in the mix too, although it sounds like Viramontes is the kind of athlete who could switch positions fairly easily.
I think Shane should be looking around for a good transfer opportunity, given that it looks like they're going to redshirt him as long as Rudock stays healthy.
September 28th, 2015 at 4:26 PM ^
Shane is smart. Shane can put zip on the ball. Shane is quite mobile. Shane has good size.
He's a guy Harbaugh would have recruited.
I would not write him off just yet until he's had some quality Harbaugh coaching under his belt. Somebody has to start next year, why not Shane?

Harbaugh motivational tactics.
January 5th, 2016 at 3:47 PM ^
fight for the opportunity. At Michigan, you earn it. And that is what Bo always preached. You may not win every game, but those who stay will be champions and competition and team respect and belief is the way home. Learn that lesson, you will succeed anywhere. It was Bo's first and last message because it endures forever
September 28th, 2015 at 2:05 PM ^
and you can see Rudock grinning. You could tell he loves Harbaugh and would do anything to please him.
September 28th, 2015 at 2:06 PM ^
That's a weird way of putting it.

just for the privilege. Because when you do, and you succeed, nobody can take that away from you. And you know how much it means.
September 28th, 2015 at 3:33 PM ^
Is that Tim Kawakamarbaugh on the table?
September 28th, 2015 at 2:21 PM ^
Appears to work. Must have some secret mojo embedded in there somewhere. But if he has to do that each week for solid QB play, I'm okay with it. I think the thing to take away from this is that Jake took it correctly (as motivation).
